Richard Thompson - Faithless
Bought this at an RT gig on Sunday night. It's a live recording from 1985.
Thompson was rated in the top 20 guitarists ever by Rolling Stone a few years ago, but his understated playing on studio albums would probably leave some wondering why.
His live playing is different, and when he lets rip, it's easier to see why he's so highly regarded. He's also a very good song-writer.
Fine album by an under-rated talent.
